Hi Erik, thanks for the intro. I'd be happy to set up an account for anyone involved with the projects who'd like to take a look. (Because we're checking for security problems, we don't share specific findings with the general public.)
Erik is right, from Lucene, Nutch, and Solr, the most important things we found were the cross-site scripting bugs in Solr. There are a few more bugs that I think are worth looking at, but nothing to get worked up about.
